Saving to Cloud

[paddythewriter]

Hi,
Having just had to completely rebuild one of my web sites as my laptop was stolen I'm making sure that I save it to Cloud.
Just checking that all I need to save is what the program saves - there's no hidden image files anywhere else or anything?
Thanks again

No, there isn't but you also need to make sure that you save your .web file to the Cloud.

No, there isn't but you also need to make sure that you save your .web file to the Cloud.

Or .xar file for Designer Pro or Photo & Graphic Designer.

Thank you, how do I find the .web file, please?

With Xara open, when you save your site save it to Dropbox (or similar). This will save the web file to the cloud.

.web & .xar are Xara's default file-types.

To be sure all this is clear: the .web file is your work file with which you can edit your website in Xara Web Designer. The output files (such as the .htm files) when you publish your site are the ones that are used by the internet browsers on viewers' cell phones, tablets, desktop computers etc. These output files, as you have discovered the hard way, cannot be directly edited in Web Designer but certain elements (such as text and images) can be imported to reconstruct a website.
